Black-Eyed Peas with Cumin

Black-Eyed Peas with Cumin by Mihir Shah

I had a craving for Black-Eyed peas this week so threw this together on the fly. It worked out really well. The chilli gives a kick but the small amount of spices keeps the flavor simple. Served over rice.

Sesame Noodle Salad

Sesame Noodle Salad by Sunny Shin

I would highly recommend making them at least 6 hours before and preferably 24 hours. The noodles absorb the "sauce" and the flavors meld.
